Self-realization is but the beginning of the path to Brahmajñāna.
The human body, especially the ten fingers, is a precious instrument gifted by God. Utilize these gifts rightly for a happy life and to attain self-realization. Self-realization is not final; Brahmajñāna lies beyond. After self-realization, hard work begins, like a president taking office. There are four inner instruments: manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra. Manas is a mighty elephant driving one to heaven or hell. Buddhi, intellect alone, is dry and cannot lead to self-realization. Colored by love, intellect becomes viveka, a rocket to Brahmaloka. Citta must be expanded; a narrow citta overflows with thoughts causing unrest. Expand citta, and thoughts disperse, allowing peace. Ahaṁkāra, ego, is necessary but dominating ego separates from God. These four form a trap, like a net or caged tiger. Karma is performed through body, mind, speech, and wealth, creating good or bad. After self-realization, one carries disciples’ burdens and filters the best aspirants. The ultimate Brahmajñāna is the jīva merging into Brahman, like a drop into the ocean. Purification of the antaḥkaraṇa is thus essential.
“Self-realization means now begins the hard work.”
“Brahma satyaṁ, jagat mithyā: Brahman is the truth, the world is unreal.”
